everything's not lost.

I had the pleasure of being back to Sylt for the second time (first time photos here). This time I took some photos during the day because I had some time left in the afternoon before getting on the train to Hamburg. Photos were taken in Westerland and List.

I’m back from a four day work trip to Bulgaria along with four co-workers. Besides being surprisingly really productive we also used the evening for some activities, including bowling and on Friday we had some time left and got to see more of Sofia than just our office, a bar and the hotel – all of which who are usually within a two minute walk. Great chance to make use of my recently aquired Tokina 12-24mm F4 :)

Btw: Tomorrow I’ll be leaving again for Vienna to attend ACTB for my company. Never been at a trade fair, pretty curious about how it’s going to be. Anyone else going to be there? Give me a shout :)

And here’s the flickr set:

seen in an e-mail signature from a customer:

this is absolutely true :)

i know i print mails every now and then – still hardly ever – and only if there are a lot of things on it i have to cross off, but i know other people who print almost every e-mail and read them on paper instead of the screen. or they archive e-mails the old fashioned way instead of only moving it in their e-mail program. couldn’t believe it myself at first..

some pics from Westerland/Sylt, didn’t have much time and didn’t really see the light of day. business-trip, only nightshooting. windy. cold. but it’s nice there, maybe i’ll get the chance to be there again, hopefully in summer.

if there are two ways to do something – do it the hard way?

a customer said, that there was a problem with the delivery of an e-mail and that she got an error message (probably from the MAILER-DAEMON), so i asked her to forward that mail (she didn’t think of that before, nor did she tell me the recipient e-mail so I could check the logs on my own).

what i got was

• an e-mail with “here you go”
• the e-mail had an attachement
• the attachement was a pdf file
• the pdf file was the scan of the mail
• the scan was a OCR scan as well, so i could copy/paste*

uhm. works for me… but hey…. why not use the “forward” button in your mail-client? :)

reminds me of the times (yes, happened more than once!) when I asked for the screenshot of an error message and got either a scanned print OR a snapshot from a digital camera when someone made a picture of the screen. once someone used the flash for the photo and I couldn’t see the error message because of the reflection.

fun times, fun times.

* copy/paste was useless by the way since the print that has been scanned was scanned a little distorted so there was no use for that :)
